- Open it up and re-tighten the connections inside. It is assembled
- with rods connected by set screw unions. They work loose and the antler dies.
- If you're handy with a torch, silver solder the joints. Soft solder is not
- a good idea because of the flexing. The solder will crystalize and break.
